Tips on Connecting

There are some other things that you can do to help your camera and viewer connect.

Soft reset both devices: << This is usually the most effective thing that you can do. It keeps all of your data but cleans out your device.

If you have Android devices:

(Presence) Clear Data: << This is usually the most effective thing that you can do.

Go to your Android Settings > Apps ( Applications ) > Presence> Clear Data. Definitely on your camera device. A good idea to do this on all devices. Move device closer to the router. If you are using wifi and if it is an option. Sometimes just moving it a bit helps. Give the viewer some time to connect to the camera- It might take a little while?

ENSURE GOOD CONNECTIVITY

Presence requires a consistent connection and may stop responding if it loses connection for an extended period of time. We have noticed that attempting to view a camera remotely using a weak connection can have undesired effects, especially if Motion Detection is enabled. Some people have found that placing their cameras closer to the access point has helped.

SpeedTest: A reliable way to find out exactly what is going on is to measure it. SpeedTest by Ookla free on the App store will give you a good assessment of you connectivity. The minimum to run Presence is 2.5 mbs download and 1.5 mbs upload.
